I'm a cinematic artist, music composer and sound designer. Making animated shorts using Source Filmmaker (Source 2 nowadays) and scoring them since 2012.

Trillions of dollars spent on fucking up the Start menu, yet regedit is still slow as hell. Microsoft, get your shit together, or get fucked.

My fellow musicians, I just broke the oath to never update software in the middle of a project. I knew the risks, and yet, I brought instability and chaos into my domain. My plugins, who served me faithfully for centuries, no longer recognize the settings I granted them. I am immensely saddened...

Impostors, my beloved.

It beats pretty much all previous formats, and the only thing that can beat it is AVIF, but that thing is too recent and won't be widely used for at least 5 more years. After all, it took WEBP almost a decade to get widespread support.

Forced myself to get at least some creative output going, so here's Battlefield-flavored tomfoolery.

A picture of two soldiers, one running with a shotgun, and another sitting uncomfortably yet very tactically on his back. Stylized text in the lower third of the picture says "Spawn on you, 10 XP" parodying a label that appears whenever somebody spawns on you in Battlefield games.

Men in Black series' intro goes so hard that on YouTube it's the most replayed part in every episode

Just for your information, for 55 billion US dollars I could develop absolutely unprecedented alcoholism.

Deus Ex remaster looks like one of those "HD" mods you'd find on ModDB circa 2006-2008.

Removed social media apps from my phone. I'm trying to cold turkey my doomscrolling addiction and overall reduce all this crap to a minimum. Hopefully I'll regain my ability to lock the fuck in as well.

Honestly, this would go hard as a t-shirt

Every piece of smut now should be a comic, even if it's just two panels, starting with every person involved collectively addressing the viewer and explaining that they all consent to what comes next.

The sole reason why you all hate WEBP is because you refuse to update your 2010 software. Pretty much all image editors and viewers, and web browsers fully support it nowadays. Shrimple as that.

According to YouTube's restricted mode, all I did was release an album, do a face reveal, compose a soundtrack, drop a silly animated sketch, and then just fucked off into oblivion.

Lead project manager at YouTube probably faints every time somebody says "Fuck" in their presence.

They'll just screen Modern Warfare 2 (2009) walkthrough in theaters.

Activision are so desperate to get me to play Call of Duty this year, they deployed a corpogoth baddie. Sorry, but my Pax Armata engineer wife is the sole owner of my heart.

Went back to 2042 and realized just how much BF6 spoiled me. Every single mechanic feels janky, from movement, to gunplay, to UI. Commo rose keeps screwing with my muscle memory, so instead of thanking medics I instantly demand ammo upon revival.

Vladislav Zharkov @vladislavzh.net · Aug 16

Yup, classic "only in Battlefield" stuff.

At times Battlefield 6 turns into absolute damn cinema. Love it.

From all the closed beta leaks, I'm *cautiously* optimistic, but even if I had the ability to pre-order, I wouldn't. I need DICE to show me that they actually learned their lessons and made a banger. Until then we will serve no hype in this house.
